THE PIT CREW

This project has been successful as a result of many people contributing from various disciplines.

We developed an interdisciplinary team within the clinic working together. Psychiatrists, a mental health nurse, and a CBT therapist worked with clinic family doctors and clinic nurses. We also work with other campus partners (e.g. Centre for Accessible Learning, Counselling Services) as necessary.
